David Clayton-Thomas got a NYC gig playing guitar for John Lee Hooker — and in the funky clubs of Greenwich Village he met several founding members of what was to become a chart-dominating jazz fusion band with an utterly distinctive sound — Blood, Sweat & Tears

For a brief period at the end of the 1960s and the start of the 1970s, Blood, Sweat & Tears, which fused a rock 'n' roll rhythm section to a horn section, stormed the pop charts

Clayton-Thomas joined this stellar group of musicians in 1969, bringing a handful of new songs as they delivered the monumental Grammy Album of the Year "Blood, Sweat & Tears"

Now hear the music and read the complete story about how this legendary band succeeded, from the ultimate BS&T insider — David Clayton-Thomas himself! "Bloodlines", from Analogue Productions captures the BS&T sound as never before, on four remastered LPs — "Child Is Father To The Man", "Blood, Sweat & Tears", "Blood, Sweat & Tears 3" and "Blood, Sweat & Tears 4"

The whole set comes in a custom-designed deluxe slipcase

For this special box set, David Clayton-Thomas was gracious enough to contribute a wonderfully-written essay telling the whole history of the band and its origins

The eight-piece band signed to Columbia Records and recorded Blood, Sweat & Tears' debut album, "Child Is Father to the Man", which was released in February 1968

Cofounder Al Kooper then departed, and the group was reorganized

Singer David Clayton-Thomas was added, trombonist Dick Halligan moved to the keyboards, and trumpeters Chuck Winfield and Lew Soloff replaced Randy Brecker and Jerry Weiss, with Jerry Hyman being added on trombone

This nine-piece unit, working with producer James William Guercio, made Blood, Sweat & Tears' self-titled second album, released in January 1969

Blood, Sweat & Tears was a runaway hit, spawning three gold-selling Top 10 singles, "You've Made Me So Very Happy", "Spinning Wheel", and "And When I Die", selling 3 million copies and winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year

Guercio left afterward to work on a similar musical concept with Chicago Transit Authority, and Blood, Sweat & Tears increasingly became a backup group for Clayton-Thomas
